Part of Psynergy’s strength is our team of therapists. We exchange resources, share areas of expertise, and provide each other the clinical, emotional, and administrative support to help us better help you.

What I’ve learned on the other side of the couch is at least as important as my credentials.
— all good therapists everywhere

I am a Master’s level clinician who works with adults and adolescents in individual, couple, and group settings. My passion is to serve others, and I strongly believe in the therapy process. Built upon the foundation of a caring and trusting relationship, therapy provides the insight, perspective, and self-awareness that leads to lasting change. I hope to collaborate with you through creative avenues to find the best path to your personal growth. As an attuned and empathic listener, I will not only assist you in navigating life’s struggles, but collaborate in solutions that will continue to support your long-term growth. I have come to trust in every individual's capacity to heal and find meaning- as we are inherently resilient beings!  

Change can be challenging, even scary.  However, the therapist-client dynamic provides a uniquely special relationship that is both similar and very different from interaction with family and friends. In the words of Carl Rogers, “when the therapist does understand how it truly feels to be in another person's world, without wanting or trying to analyze or judge it, then . . . the client can truly blossom and grow in that climate.”

I earned my master’s degree in counseling from Houston Baptist University, and I obtained my bachelor’s degree at Texas A&M University. For nearly ten years, I worked in the fashion retail industry instilling self-esteem and empowerment to men and women before embarking upon this new career.  In my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, adventure traveling, and finding new binge-worthy TV shows.

I have worked with all ages from childhood through adulthood, and my person-centered approach facilitates the conversations and adaptive behaviors that ultimately allow for your improved health and wellness. Together, we dive into the world of self-exploration in a safe and attuned way.

The life decisions we make, who we are, and how we define our narrative, all inform and create our point of view. As we explore our perspectives, develop better awareness of self and others, and become more mindful and intentional about how we relate, natural growth will occur amidst the supportive structure of the therapeutic relationship.

I am an author in the field of therapeutic hypnosis, and my post graduate work includes further expertise and education in therapeutic hypnosis, complex trauma and mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy.

In addition to psychotherapy, my life path involves my own personal practice of yoga and meditation, as well as pursuing creativity through painting, drawing, poetry, sculpture, and other forms of self-expression.


My passion for being a therapist stems from the belief that navigating change is fundamental to human growth. While change and comfort don’t always co-exist, my goal is to make the process more approachable—perhaps even something you embrace as you experience the benefits of therapy.

I hold empathic space for individuals, couples, and families while bringing a focus on neurobiological awareness, especially in how the brain stores and retrieves information and how subconscious processes shape thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I am also passionate about teaching; ADHD concerns and dysfunctional relationship patterns have been the focus of past research and presentations.

Our responses to life’s challenges stem from our programming which may hold self-limiting beliefs or demanding internal narratives. These can cloud our path forward or block the self-acceptance needed to heal. Given a safe environment and the guidance of a trusted therapist, it is possible to reprogram these influences and cultivate a more mindful and nurturing relationship with oneself. I acknowledge the past’s impact but believe it doesn’t have to define our future.

My approach integrates evidence-based models with holistic methods focused on the mind-body-soul connection, helping to foster secure attachment, self-acceptance, and growth. I aim not to change who you are but to help you preserve your strengths while evolving your relationship with yourself. My perspective is free from rigid judgments of “good” and “bad”, therefore, I listen with curiosity to understand your unique experience so we can find solutions that resonate together.

Life’s challenges can feel like relentless waves. No matter the concern you bring into therapy, I’m happy to navigate those waves with you.

I believe in our capacity to return to wholeness. Life’s challenges can sometimes force us to shut down or disappear in order to keep going — which can deplete us mentally, emotionally, relationally and spiritually.

Over the past 15+ years, I have worked in medical settings and in private practice with individuals, groups, couples, and families.  I have advanced training in Ericksonian clinical hypnosis as well as EMDR.  

I have extensive and continued trauma training, beginning with a fellowship at the Houston-Galveston Trauma Institute. My areas of expertise are chronic pain and illness, bereavement, and relational difficulties (with self as well as with others). I have taught courses to Master’s level students at the University of Houston, and am an author, speaker, and coach. 

I am committed to the growth and transformation of my clients and am inspired by the courage adults, children, couples, and families bring to this work of reclaiming their lives, and wholeness.  

First Career: For 20+ years I have been an artisan metal-worker and visual artist.

For Fun: I love and enjoy my family and dogs, and the great outdoors - especially wilderness backpacking and camping.

Psynergy Partner

I am intrigued by the full spectrum of life challenges.  On the one hand, we struggle with manageable, though sometimes erosive daily issues, and on the other hand, we work to survive intensive trauma.  A guiding force in all the work?  Good and True Ideas: they are relentless, they domino and, thankfully, cannot be quieted. 

My past work with physicians in a medical clinic helped me better understand the intricate connection between healing the mind and the body.  I am trained in EMDR and Somatic Integration, and pull from eclectic approaches including:  psychodynamic relational work; cognitive-behavioral tools; Freud's defenses; and Jung's archetypes, to name a few.

I lead groups and workshops, write articles, and present on a range of topics, locally, and sometimes far flung.  I continue to learn from amazing thinkers everywhere, including my clients.  

First Career: I founded and directed Writers In The Schools after receiving a master's degree in Creative Writing and Literature from the University of Houston. 

For Fun: I enjoy time with my grown children; writing fiction and poetry; theater; singing, dancing.
